Superbly outfitted with refined attention to detail, no architectural element has been ignored. Elaborate original moldings, hardwood flooring, high ceilings, wide entries and an enviable center hall floor plan set the tone for its formal rooms where comfortable elegance reigns supreme. A three-season room with bifold doors from the living room features multi-season entertaining and al fresco dining space.

At the heart of the home is a fabulous renovated kitchen and breakfast area with sliding doors onto the outdoor deck for easy entertaining. The state of the art kitchen was built with the most discerning chef in mind. Offering white custom cabinetry, gleaming granite and quartzite countertops, Wolf 60" dual fuel range with six gas burners, French Top and two electric ovens, SubZero refrigerator, two dishwashers, ample storage and multiple pantries, your kitchen will be the neighborhood's envy. The contrasting white cabinetry with dark center island makes a statement, set against blended light and dark countertops and rich wood finishes.

Nearby, overlooking the vast yard, the family room is wrapped in rich wood paneling, detailed trim work and built-ins for additional storage.

A convenient back staircase leads to the second floor of the home from the kitchen. Once on the second level you will find four bedrooms in total, including an enviable master suite. Two of the bedrooms share a completely renovated Jack and Jill bath, while another bedroom enjoys a private bath via hall access. The master suite offers generous space, with five closets, dressing area and an en-suite bath. Two well-appointed third-floor bedrooms, each with their own distinctive achitectural flavor, have custom-fitted closets and share a renovated full bath.
